About

I crochet “naturally, elegantly, and comfortably” to create and deliver “things that be considerate of to new days” that lighten your mind.

There is a legend I like that says “Crochet connects heaven and earth.” The thread spreads freely while weaving air and thoughts, and it seems to connect invisible objects.

I love simple handicrafts and the creation feeling, little by little, everyday productions creates our universe.

Travel always opens unknown doors, the spirit of the people living in remote villages, the spirituality, the natural materials of the land itself, and the colors and scents of the crafting.

I am attracted by unique, gentle and a bit mysterious things.

I live in Japan now.

I like to make things and to go to adventure since I was child.

After studying Stage Art in Tokyo, I worked as graphic designer and in several cafe as waitress and manager. In 2011, I began to travel on small remote islands and abroad with crochet hooks in my rucksacks.

I experience breeding silkworms, cultivating cotton, spinning hemp, spinning kudzu-plants fiber, woodworking, beeswax, soil, plant dyeing, and more handcraft tecniques because I wanted to know natural materials and the background in which they are made.

In 2015, when I lived in Northern Thailand, I started selling crochet artworks under my brand Hue Rain.

I make jewelery, ornaments, and installation art through exhibitions and Artist-in-Residence programs.
